ABSTRACT:
A method of transferring a retroreflective pattern onto a fabric, wherein a retroreflective pattern transfer sheet comprising a base film, a temporary holding adhesive, a mass of transparent fine glass spheres partially embedded into the temporary holding adhesive, and a reflective film layer which covers the exposed surface of the transparent fine glass spheres and the exposed surface of the temporary holding adhesive present in the gaps between individual adjacent transparent fine glass spheres, is superposed on the surface of a fabric coated with a compression bonding adhesive in a predetermined pattern, with the reflective film layer side put in contact with the fabric surface, the portion of the transfer sheet which is opposed to the compression bonding adhesive into bond with the fabric, an outer portion of the sheet is subsequently stripped off, whereby only the portion thereof which is in bond with the fabric through the compression bonding adhesive is allowed to remain on the fabric to form the retroreflective pattern with the individual transparent glass spheres present in partially exposed condition.
